Holy Family Home in Philadelphia has received an impressive Trust Grade of A, indicating it is highly recommended and performs excellently compared to other facilities. It ranks #53 out of 653 in Pennsylvania, placing it in the top half, and is #2 out of 46 in Philadelphia County, meaning only one local option is better. The facility's trend is stable, with only one issue reported in both 2023 and 2025, which suggests consistent performance. Staffing is a strong point, with a 5/5 star rating and a turnover rate of 33%, significantly lower than the state average, indicating that staff members are experienced and familiar with residents.
